Can the transmission fluid be changed at 70,000 kilometers?
1 Answers
It is better to change the transmission fluid when the car mileage reaches 60,000 kilometers. For vehicles with low usage frequency, it can be changed at 80,000 kilometers. Transmission Fluid: Many car owners are confused about transmission fluid, but it's okay. Not everyone who buys or drives a car understands it. Changing transmission fluid for automatic transmission models is more expensive than for manual transmission models. The function of transmission fluid is the same as engine oil, both serving to lubricate and cool. Normal Transmission Fluid Change: Generally, automatic transmission fluid should be changed every two years or every 60,000 kilometers. Automatic transmission fluid cannot be completely drained using atmospheric pressure, which only removes about half of the waste fluid. The remaining fluid will accumulate with sludge and impurities in the valve body, torque converter, and cooling lines, causing blockages in the system's internal oil passages. Over 99% of automatic transmission failures are caused by overheating and long-term failure to change the ATF fluid, leading to impurities.
